We already have a list of hotels which will.

Either meetings are important or they're not.  If we're
going to continue to treat meeting participation as necessary,
we need to make it easier logistically.  Instead we keep throwing
up barriers to participation.  The closest overflow hotel
is nearly a mile from the Hilton - how's that going to work
out for people with limited mobility?  I'm very happy having a
walk each morning and evening but I'll tell you that it can be
a huge PITA for breakfast meetings for people not staying
at the headquarter hotel.  Getting work done should be one
of the primary considerations, here.
